[Glade-users] Problem with custom PyGTK widgets within Glade

[djclue917 at gmail.com (Darwin Bautista)]

Hi all,

This is the first time that I've tried to create custom widgets
(written in Python) for use within Glade so I'm pretty much lost here.
I followed the tutorial here:
http://www.pygtk.org/articles/custom-widgets-glade/Custom_PyGTK_Widgets_in_Glade3.html

and came up with ma3xwidgets.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<glade-catalog name="ma3x" library="ma3xwidgets" domain="glade3"
depends="gtk+" language="python">
        <glade-widget-classes>
                <glade-widget-class title="Date" name="Date"></glade-widget-class>
                <glade-widget-class title="Time" name="Time"></glade-widget-class>
        </glade-widget-classes>
        <glade-widget-group name="ma3x-widgets" title="MA3X Widgets">
                <glade-widget-class-ref name="Date"/>
                <glade-widget-class-ref name="Time"/>
        </glade-widget-group>
</glade-catalog>

and ma3xwidgets.py:

from ma3x.widgets import Time, Date


Unfortunately, when I run Glade, I get the error below:

...
(glade-3:29883): GladeUI-CRITICAL **: Unable to load module
'ma3xwidgets' from any search paths

(glade-3:29883): GladeUI-WARNING **: Failed to load external library
'ma3xwidgets'
...

The catalog file and the support module are both in the right places
(/usr/share/glade3/catalogs and /usr/lib/glade3/modules respectively)
but I'm getting nowhere. I've ran out of ideas as to why Glade can't
load the support module (ma3xwidgets.py).

I don't know if my build of glade/libglade/pygtk are missing some
magical ./configure flags.
Help will be very much appreciated. Thanks.
